<b><i>1. Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Security Bancshares, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
United Security Bank and subsidiary (the "Bank"), and United Security Bancshares Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), (collectively the
"Company"). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the following notes, references to the
Bank are references to United Security Bank. References to the Company are references to United Security Bancshares, Inc.
(including the Bank), except for periods prior to June 12, 2001, in which case, references to the Company are references to the
Bank.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
United Security Bancshares is a bank holding company, incorporated in the state of California for the purpose of acquiring all the
capital stock of the Bank through a holding company reorganization (the "Reorganization") of the Bank. The Reorganization, which
was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, was completed on June 12, 2001. Management believes the
reorganization will provide the Company greater operating and financial flexibility and will permit expansion into a broader range
of financial services and other business activities.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
United Security Bancshares Capital Trust I, a subsidiary of United Security Bancshares, is a Delaware statutory business trust
formed for the exclusive purpose of issuing and selling Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust was formed on June 28, 2001 (See
Note 6. "Trust Preferred Securities").</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
USB Investment Trust Inc. was incorporated effective December 31, 2001 as a special purpose real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under Maryland law. The REIT is a subsidiary of the Bank and was funded with $133.0 million in real estate-secured loans
contributed by the Bank. USB Investment Trust will give the Bank flexibility in raising capital, and will reduce the expenses
associated with holding the assets contributed to USB Investment Trust.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The allowance for credit
losses represents management's estimate of the risk inherent in the loan
portfolio based on the current economic conditions, collateral values and
economic prospects of the borrowers. Significant changes in these estimates
might be required in the event of a downturn in the economy and/or the real
estate market in the San Joaquin Valley, and the greater Oakhurst and East
Madera County area. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>At March 31, 2003 and 2002,
the Company's recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been
recognized totaled $15.3 million and $7.3 million. Included in this amount is
$7.9 million and $1.2 million of impaired loans for which the related specific
allowance is $566,000 and $98,000, as well as $7.4 million and $6.1 million of
impaired loans that as a result of write-downs or the fair value of the
collateral, did not have a specific allowance. The average recorded investment
in impaired loans was $16.5 million and $10.8 million for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At December 31, 2002, the
Company's recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized
totaled $15.3 million. Included in this amount is $8.4 million of impaired loans
for which the related specific allowance is $1.3 million, as well as $6.9
million of impaired loans that as a result of write-downs or the fair value of
the collateral did not have a specific allowance. The average recorded
investment in impaired loans was $11.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2002. In most cases, the Company uses the cash basis method of income
recognition for impaired loans. In the case of certain troubled debt
restructuring for which the loan is performing under the current contractual
terms, income is recognized under the accrual method. For the three months ended
March 31, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized $1,000
and $3,000 on such loans, respectively. For the three months ended March 31,
2002, the Company recognized no income on such loans. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>In the normal course of
business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. At March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 these financial instruments include commitments to extend
credit of $112.9 million and $114.2 million, respectively, and standby letters
of credit of $705,000 and $814,000, respectively. These instruments involve
elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.
The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the involvement
the bank has in off-balance sheet financial instruments. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company&#146;s exposure
to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the
financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments. The
Company uses the same credit policies as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Commitments to extend
credit are agreements to lend to a customer, as long as there is no violation of
any condition established in the contract. Substantially all of these
commitments are at floating interest rates based on prime. Commitments generally
have fixed expiration dates. The Company evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case by case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if

<b><i>6. Trust Preferred Securities</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>On July 16, 2001, the
Company&#146;s wholly owned special-purpose trust subsidiary, United Security
Bancshares Capital Trust I (the &#147;Trust&#148;) issued $15 million in
cumulative Trust Preferred Securities. The securities bear a floating rate of
interest of 3.75% over the six month LIBOR rate, payable semi-annually.
Concurrent with the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities, the Trust used
the proceeds from the Trust Preferred Securities offering to purchase a like
amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company. The Subordinated
Debentures are the sole assets of the Trust and are eliminated, along with the
related income statement effects, in the consolidated financial statements. The
Company will pay interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures to the Trust,
which represents the sole revenues and sole source of dividend distributions to
the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities. The Company has the right,
assuming no default has occurred, to defer payments of interest on the Junior
Subordinated Debentures at any time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive
quarters. The Trust Preferred Securities will mature on July 25, 2031, but can
be redeemed after July 25, 2006 at a premium, and can be redeemed after July 25,
2011 at par. The obligations of the Trust are fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company received $14.5
million from the Trust upon issuance of the Junior Subordinated Debentures, of
which $13.7 million was contributed by the Company to the Bank to increase its
capital. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, a portion of the Trust
Preferred Securities will qualify as Tier I Capital, and the remainder as Tier
II Capital. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Issuance costs of $495,000
related to the Trust Preferred Securities were deferred at the time of issuance
and will be amortized over the 30-year life of the securities. Interest expense
on the Trust Preferred Securities totaled $196,000 and amortization expense
totaled $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. </FONT></P>

<b><i>7. Regulatory Matters</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3><u>Capital Guidelines</u> - The
Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (&#147;Board of Governors&#148;). Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandates and possible additional discretionary
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect
on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the
Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance
sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt
corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. </FONT></P>

<p align=center><font size=3>11</font></p>
<HR  SIZE="3" COLOR="#CCEEFF" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Quantitative measures
established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require insured
institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital (the sum of
common stockholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and
minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus intangible assets,
identified losses and investments in certain subsidiaries, plus unrealized
losses or minus unrealized gains on available for sale securities) to total
assets. Institutions which have received the highest composite regulatory rating
and which are not experiencing or anticipating significant growth are required
to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of 3% Tier 1 capital to total
assets. All other institutions are required to maintain a minimum leverage
capital ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above the 3% minimum
requirement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Board of Governors has
also adopted a statement of policy, supplementing its leverage capital ratio
requirements, which provides definitions of qualifying total capital (consisting
of Tier 1 capital and supplementary capital, including the allowance for loan
losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets) and sets forth minimum
risk-based capital ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. Insured
institutions are required to maintain a ratio of qualifying total capital to
risk weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be in the form of
Tier 1 capital. </FONT></P>

during that period of time). If the above test is not met, cash dividends may
only be paid with the prior approval of the California State Department of
Financial Institutions, in an amount not exceeding the greater of: (i) the
Bank&#146;s retained earnings; (ii) its net income for the last fiscal year; or
(iii) its net income for the current fiscal year. Year-to-date, the Bank has

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
<b><u>Overview</u></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Certain matters discussed
or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q are
forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, those described in Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Therefore, the information set
forth therein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business
prospects of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>On June 12, 2001, the
United Security Bank (the &#147;Bank&#148;) became the wholly owned subsidiary
of United Security Bancshares, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) through a tax free
holding company reorganization, accounted for on a basis similar to the pooling
of interest method. In the transaction, each share of Bank stock was exchanged
for a share of Company stock on a one-to-one basis. No additional equity was
issued as part of this transaction. In the following discussion, references to
the Bank are references to United Security Bank. References to the Company are
references to United Security Bancshares, Inc. (including the Bank), except for
periods prior to June 12, 2001, in which case, references to the Company are
references to the Bank. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>On June 28, 2001, United
Security Bancshares Capital Trust I (the &#147;Trust&#148;) was formed as a
Delaware business trust for the sole purpose of issuing Trust Preferred
securities. On July 16, 2001, the Trust completed the issuance of $15 million in
Trust Preferred securities, and concurrently, the Trust used the proceeds from
that offering to purchase Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company. The
Company subsequently contributed $13.7 million of the $14.5 million in net
proceeds received from the Trust to the Bank to increase its regulatory capital. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company continues to
seek ways to better meet its customers' needs for financial services, expand
into new markets and compete in today's financial services environment. The
Company's strategy is to be a better low-cost provider of services to its
customer base while enlarging its market area and corresponding customer base to
further its ability to provide those services. The Company currently has seven
banking branches, which provide financial services in Fresno and Madera
counties. </FONT></P>

<b><u>Results of Operations</u></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>For the three months ended
March 31, 2003, the Company reported net income of $1.7 million or $0.32 per
share ($0.32 diluted) as compared to $1.5 million or $0.28 per share ($0.28
diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The Company&#146;s return on
average assets was 1.36% for both the three-month-period ended March 31, 2003
and the three-month-period ended March 31, 2002. The Bank&#146;s return on
average equity was 16.73% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared
to 16.76% for the same three-month period of 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
<b><i>Net Interest Income</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Net interest income, the
most significant component of earnings, is the difference between the interest
and fees received on earning assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities. Earning assets consist primarily of loans, and to a lesser extent,
investments in securities issued by federal, state and local authorities, and
corporations. These earning assets are funded by a combination of
interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities, primarily customer
deposits and short-term and long-term borrowings. Net interest income before
provision for credit losses totaled $4.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003, representing an increase of $447,000 or 10.8% when compared to
the $4.1 million reported for the same three months of the previous year. The
increase in net interest income between 2002 and 2003 is primarily the result of
significant growth in earning assets, which was enhanced by a significant
decline in the Company&#146;s cost of interest-bearing liabilities. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Bank's net interest
margin, as shown in Table 1, decreased to 3.89% at March 31, 2003 from 4.07% at
March 31, 2002, a decrease of 18 basis points (100 basis points = 1%) between
the two periods. Market rates of interest decreased between the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2003. The prime rate averaged 4.25% for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to 4.75% for the comparative three
months of 2002. The effect of market rate declines between those two periods was
mitigated to a large degree as the result of significantly lower repricing of
interest-bearing liabilities. </FONT></P>

compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The change is attributable
primarily to a substantial increase in earning assets, which was only partially
offset by the decrease in market rates of interest. Earning asset growth was
mostly in investment securities and federal funds sold and, to a smaller degree,
in loans. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>For the three months ended
March 31, 2003, total interest expense decreased approximately $535,000 or 19.7%
as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2002. While average
interest-bearing liabilities increased by $49.7 million between the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the average rate paid on those
liabilities declined by 97 basis points, which more than outweighed in the
increase in volume. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Provisions for credit
losses and the amount added to the allowance for credit losses is determined on
the basis of management's continuous credit review of the loan portfolio,
consideration of past loan loss experience, current and future economic
conditions, and other pertinent factors. Such factors consider the allowance for
credit losses to be adequate when it covers estimated losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. Based on the condition of the loan portfolio, management
believes the allowance is sufficient to cover risk elements in the loan
portfolio. For the three months ending March 31, 2003 the provision to the
allowance for credit losses amounted to $245,000 as compared to $620,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002. The amount provided to the allowance for
credit losses during the first three months brought the allowance to 1.41% of
net outstanding loan balances at March 31, 2003, as compared to 1.59% of net
outstanding loan balances at December 31, 2002, and 1.48% at March 31, 2002. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
<i>Noninterest Income</i></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Noninterest income consists
primarily of fees and commissions earned on services that are provided to the
Company&#146;s banking customers. Noninterest income for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 decreased $211,000 when compared to the same period last year.
Decreases in customer service fees accounted for $37,000 of the change in
noninterest income between the two three-month periods presented, and are
attributable to modest declines in checking service charges and overdraft fee
income. Other noninterest income decreased $228,000 between the two periods, and
is primarily attributable to a decline of $249,000 in shared appreciation income
on commercial real estate. </FONT></P>

<b><i>Short-Term Borrowings</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company has the ability
to obtain borrowed funds consisting of federal funds purchased, securities sold
under agreements to repurchase (&#147;repurchase agreements&#148;) and Federal
Home Loan Bank (&#147;FHLB&#148;) advances as alternatives to retail deposit
funds. The Company has established collateralized and uncollateralized lines of
credit with several correspondent banks, as well as a securities dealer, for the
purpose of obtaining borrowed funds as needed. The Company may continue to
borrow funds in the future as part of its asset/liability strategy, and may use
these funds to acquire certain other assets as deemed appropriate by management
for investment purposes and to better utilize the capital resources of the Bank.
Federal funds purchased represent temporary overnight borrowings from
correspondent banks and are generally unsecured. Repurchase agreements are
collateralized by mortgage backed securities and securities of U.S. Government
agencies, and generally have maturities of one to six months, but may have
longer maturities if deemed appropriate as part of the Company&#146;s
asset/liability management strategy. FHLB advances are collateralized by all of
the Company&#146;s stock in the FHLB, securities, and certain qualifying
mortgage loans. In addition, the Company has the ability to obtain borrowings
from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, which would be collateralized by
certain pledged loans in the Company&#146;s loan portfolio. The lines of credit
are subject to periodic review of the Company&#146;s financial statements by the
grantors of the credit lines. Lines of credit may be modified or revoked at any
time if the grantors feel there are adverse trends in the Company&#146;s
financial position. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company had
collateralized and uncollateralized lines of credit aggregating $148.1 million,
as well as FHLB lines of credit totaling $33.1 million at March 31, 2003. These
lines of credit generally have interest rates tied to the Federal Funds rate or
are indexed to short-term U.S. Treasury rates or LIBOR All lines of credit are
on an &#147;as available&#148; basis and can be revoked by the grantor at any
time. At March 31, 2003, the Company had advances on the FHLB line of credit
totaling $9.0 million. The Company had collateralized and uncollateralized lines
of credit aggregating $157.5 million, as well as FHLB lines of credit totaling
$36.7 million at December 31, 2002. The Company had FHLB advances of $35.4

<b><i>Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Lending money is the
Company's principal business activity, and ensuring appropriate evaluation,
diversification, and control of credit risks is a primary management
responsibility. Implicit in lending activities is the fact that losses will be
experienced and that the amount of such losses will vary from time to time,
depending on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by local
economic conditions and the financial experience of borrowers. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The allowance for credit
losses is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for
known and inherent risks in existing loans and commitments to extend credit. The
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based upon management's
continuing assessment of various factors affecting the collectibility of loans
and commitments to extend credit; including current economic conditions, past
credit experience, collateral, and concentrations of credit. There is no precise
method of predicting specific losses or amounts which may ultimately be charged
off on particular segments of the loan portfolio. The conclusion that a loan may
become uncollectible, either in part or in whole, is judgmental and subject to
economic, environmental, and other conditions which cannot be predicted with
certainty. When determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the
Company follows the guidelines set forth in the Interagency Policy Statement on
the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (&#147;Statement&#148;) issued jointly
by banking regulators during July 2001. The Statement outlines characteristics
that should be used in segmentation of the loan portfolio for purposes of the
analysis including risk classification, past due status, type of loan, industry
or collateral. It also outlines factors to consider when adjusting the loss
factors for various segments of the loan portfolio. Securities and Exchange
Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102 was also released at this time
which represents the SEC staff&#146;s view relating to methodologies and
supporting documentation for the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses that should
be observed by all public companies in complying with the federal securities
laws and the Commission&#146;s interpretations. It is also generally consistent
with the guidance published by the banking regulators. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
The Company's methodology for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses consists of several key elements, which
include:</FONT></P>


<ul>
<li>- the formula allowance,<BR>
<li>- specific allowances for problem graded loans ("classified loans")<BR>
<li>- and the unallocated allowance<BR>
</ul>

<BR><BR>
<p align=center><font size=3>20</font></p>
<HR  SIZE="3" COLOR="#CCEEFF" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>In addition, the allowance
analysis also incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided
in: </FONT></P>


<ul>
<li>- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan" and<BR>
<li>- SFAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures."<BR>
</ul>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The formula allowance is
calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans and certain unfunded
loan commitments. Loss factors are based on the Company&#146;s historical loss
experience and on the internal risk grade of those loans and, may be adjusted
for significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the
collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Management determines
the loss factors for problem graded loans (substandard, doubtful, and loss),
special mention loans, and pass graded loans, based on a loss migration model.
The migration analysis incorporates loan losses over the past twelve quarters
(three years) and loss factors are adjusted to recognize and quantify the loss
exposure from changes in market conditions and trends in the Company&#146;s loan
portfolio. For purposes of this analysis, loans are grouped by internal risk
classifications which are &#147;pass&#148;, &#147;special mention&#148;,
&#147;substandard&#148;, &#147;doubtful&#148;, and &#147;loss&#148;. Certain
loans are homogenous in nature and are therefore pooled by risk grade. These
homogenous loans include consumer installment and home equity loans. Special
mention loans are currently performing but are potentially weak, as the borrower
has begun to exhibit deteriorating trends, which if not corrected, could
jeopardize repayment of the loan and result in further downgrade. Substandard
loans have well-defined weaknesses which, if not corrected, could jeopardize the
full satisfaction of the debt. A loan classified as &#147;doubtful&#148; has
critical weaknesses that make full collection of the obligation improbable.
Classified loans, as defined by the Company, include loans categorized as
substandard, doubtful, and loss. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Specific allowances are
established based on management&#146;s periodic evaluation of loss exposure
inherent in classified loans, impaired loans, and other loans in which
management believes there is a probability that a loss has been incurred in
excess of the amount determined by the application of the formula allowance. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The unallocated portion of
the allowance is based upon management&#146;s evaluation of various conditions
that are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific
allowances. The conditions may include, but are not limited to, general economic
and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company, credit
quality trends, collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, and other
business conditions. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company&#146;s
methodology includes features that are intended to reduce the difference between
estimated and actual losses. The specific allowance portion of the analysis is
designed to be self-correcting by taking into account the current loan loss
experience based on that portion of the portfolio. By analyzing the probable
estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, management
is able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates using the most recent
information available. In performing the periodic migration analysis, management
believes that historical loss factors used in the computation of the formula
allowance need to be adjusted to reflect current changes in market conditions
and trends in the Company&#146;s loan portfolio. There are a number of other
factors which are reviewed when determining adjustments in the historical loss
factors. They include 1) trends in delinquent and nonaccrual loans, 2) trends in
loan volume and terms, 3) effects of changes in lending policies, 4)
concentrations of credit, 5) competition, 6) national and local economic trends
and conditions, 7) experience of lending staff, 8) loan review and Board of
Directors oversight, 9) high balance loan concentrations, and 10) other business
conditions. During the first three months of 2003, there were no changes in
estimation methods or assumptions that affected the methodology for assessing
the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Management and the
Company&#146;s lending officers evaluate the loss exposure of classified and
impaired loans on a weekly/monthly basis and through discussions and officer
meetings as conditions change. The Company&#146;s Loan Committee meets weekly
and serves as a forum to discuss specific problem assets that pose significant
concerns to the Company, and to keep the Board of Directors informed through
committee minutes. All special mention and classified loans are reported
quarterly on Criticized Asset Reports which are reviewed by senior management.
With this information, the migration analysis and the impaired loan analysis are
performed on a quarterly basis and adjustments are made to the allowance as
deemed necessary. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Impaired loans are measured
based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
is collateral dependent. The amount of impaired loans is not directly comparable
to the amount of nonperforming loans disclosed later in this section. The
primary differences between impaired loans and nonperforming loans are: i) all
loan categories are considered in determining nonperforming loans while impaired
loan recognition is limited to commercial and industrial loans, commercial and
residential real estate loans, construction loans, and agricultural loans, and
ii) impaired loan recognition considers not only loans 90 days or more past due,
restructured loans and nonaccrual loans but also may include problem loans other
than delinquent loans. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company considers a
loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes
it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include
nonaccrual loans, restructured debt, and performing loans in which full payment
of principal or interest is not expected. Management bases the measurement of
these impaired loans on the fair value of the loan's collateral or the expected
cash flows on the loans discounted at the loan's stated interest rates. Cash
receipts on impaired loans not performing to contractual terms and that are on
nonaccrual status are used to reduce principal balances. Impairment losses are
included in the allowance for credit losses through a charge to the provision,
if applicable. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>At March 31, 2003 and 2002,
the Company's recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been
recognized totaled $15.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Included in
total impaired loans at March 31, 2003, is $7.9 million of impaired loans for
which the related specific allowance is $566,000, as well as $7.4 million of
impaired loans that as a result of write-downs or the fair value of the
collateral, did not have a specific allowance. Total impaired loans at March 31,
2002 included $1.2 million of impaired loans for which the related specific
allowance is $98,000, as well as $6.1 million of impaired loans that as a result
of write-downs or the fair value of the collateral, did not have a specific
allowance. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was $16.5 million
during the first three months of 2003 and $10.8 million during the first three
months of 2002. In most cases, the Bank uses the cash basis method of income
recognition for impaired loans. In the case of certain troubled debt
restructuring for which the loan is performing under the current contractual
terms, income is recognized under the accrual method. For the three months ended
March 31, 2003 and year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recognized $1,000
and $3,000 on such loans, respectively. For the three months ended March 31,
2002, the Company recognized no income on such loans. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Other factors that continue
to gain management&#146;s attention are competition in the Company&#146;s market
area and economic conditions, which may ultimately affect the risk assessment of
the portfolio. The Company has experienced increased competition from major
banks, local independents and non-bank institutions creating pressure on loan
pricing. In an effort to avoid recession, the Federal Reserve reduced interest
rates an unprecedented 475 basis points during 2001, and an additional 50 basis
points during November of 2002. With interest rates at historical lows, the
economic recovery has been slow in coming, with increasing energy costs,
declining consumer confidence, State budget deficits, and job layoffs at major
corporations across the country. With events since the World Trade Center
disaster, and expanding conflict in the Middle East, it is difficult to
determine what continued impact these changes will have on consumer confidence
and the domestic economy or whether the Federal Reserve will continue to adjust
interest rates in an effort to control the economy. It is likely that the
business environment in California will continue to be influenced by these
domestic as well as global events, although the overall economy of California
has generally improved over the past several years. San Francisco, the Silicon
Valley, and adjacent areas continue to feel the effect of the high-tech decline
as occupancy rates drop, along with rental rates of available commercial office
space. Occupancy rates for commercial real estate in other parts of the state
may also suffer as a result of the drag on the economy. The local economy has
been impacted to some degree over the past several years by such things as
decreased exports and adverse weather patterns, which has increased worries
about the future economic trends in the state. Local unemployment rates, as well
as foreclosures in Fresno and Madera counties have increased during the past
several years and persist to the current time. Despite the Central Valley's
traditionally high unemployment, it is Management&#146;s belief that the Central
San Joaquin Valley will continue to grow and diversify as property and housing
costs remain reasonable relative to other areas of the state, although this
growth may begin to slow as the Federal Reserve seeks to control what it
perceives as a potential recession in the economy. Management recognizes
increased risk of loss due to the Company's exposure from local and worldwide
economic conditions, as well as soft real estate markets, and takes these
factors into consideration when analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for
credit losses. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Management believes that

that the economic conditions which may adversely affect the Company's service
areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased losses in the
loan portfolio. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>It is the Company's policy
to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans for which reasonable
doubt exists with respect to the timely collectability of interest or principal
due to the ability of the borrower to comply with the terms of the loan
agreement. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status whenever the payment of
principal or interest is 90 days past due or earlier when the conditions
warrant, and interest collected is thereafter credited to principal to the
extent necessary to eliminate doubt as to the collectability of the net carrying
amount of the loan. Management may grant exceptions to this policy if the loans
are well secured and in the process of collection. </FONT></P>

<b><u>Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management</u></b></FONT></P>


<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The primary function of
asset/liability management is to provide adequate liquidity and maintain an
appropriate balance between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive
liabilities. </FONT></P>

<a name="a0024"></a>
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
<b><i>Liquidity</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Liquidity management may be
described as the ability to maintain sufficient cash flows to fulfill financial
obligations, including loan funding commitments and customer deposit
withdrawals, without straining the Company&#146;s equity structure. To maintain
an adequate liquidity position, the Company relies on, in addition to cash and
cash equivalents, cash inflows from deposits and short-term borrowings,
repayments of principal on loans and investments, and interest income received.
The Company's principal cash outflows are for loan origination, purchases of
investment securities, depositor withdrawals and payment of operating expenses. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company continues to
emphasize liability management as part of its overall asset/liability strategy.
Through the discretionary acquisition of short term borrowings, the Company has
been able to provide liquidity to fund asset growth while, at the same time,
better utilizing its capital resources, and better controlling interest rate
risk. The borrowings are generally short-term and more closely match the
repricing characteristics of floating rate loans, which comprise approximately
68.3% of the Company&#146;s loan portfolio at March 31, 2003. This does not
preclude the Company from selling assets such as investment securities to fund
liquidity needs but, with favorable borrowing rates, the Company has maintained
a positive yield spread between borrowed liabilities and the assets which those
liabilities fund. If, at some time, rate spreads become unfavorable, the Company
has the ability to utilize an asset management approach and, either control
asset growth or, fund further growth with maturities or sales of investment
securities. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company's liquid asset
base which generally consists of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold,
securities purchased under agreements to resell (&#147;reverse repos&#148;) and
investment securities, is maintained at a level deemed sufficient to provide the
cash outlay necessary to fund loan growth as well as any customer deposit runoff
that may occur. Within this framework is the objective of maximizing the yield
on earning assets. This is generally achieved by maintaining a high percentage
of earning assets in loans, which historically have represented the Company's
highest yielding asset. At March 31, 2003, the Bank had 67.2% of total assets in
the loan portfolio and a loan to deposit ratio of 78.9%. Liquid assets at March
31, 2003 include cash and cash equivalents totaling $34.7 million as compared to
$31.5 million at December 31, 2002. Other sources of liquidity include
collateralized and uncollateralized lines of credit from other banks, the
Federal Home Loan Bank, and from the Federal Reserve Bank totaling $181.2
million at March 31, 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The liquidity of the parent
company, United Security Bancshares, is primarily dependent on the payment of
cash dividends by its subsidiary, United Security Bank, subject to limitations
imposed by the Financial Code of the State of California. During the three
months ended March 31, 2003, dividends paid by the Bank to the parent company
totaled $1.3 million dollars. As a bank holding company formed under the Bank
Holding Act of 1956, United Security Bancshares is to provide a source of
financial strength for its subsidiary bank(s). To help provide financial
strength, United Security Bancshares&#146; trust subsidiary, United Security
Bancshares Capital Trust I, completed a $15 million offering in Trust Preferred
Securities during July 2001, the proceeds of which were used to purchase Junior
Subordinated Debentures of the Company. Of the $14.5 million in net proceeds
received by the Company, $13.7 million was used to enhance the liquidity and
capital positions of the Bank. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
<b><i>Capital Adequacy</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Capital adequacy for bank
holding companies and their subsidiary banks has become increasingly important
in recent years. Continued deregulation of the banking industry since the 1980's
has resulted in, among other things, a broadening of business activities beyond
that of traditional banking products and services. Because of this volatility
within the banking and financial services industry, regulatory agencies have
increased their focus upon ensuring that banking institutions meet certain
capital requirements as a means of protecting depositors and investors against
such volatility. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>During July 2001, the
Company completed an offering of Trust Preferred Securities in an aggregate
amount of $15.0 million to enhance its regulatory base, while providing
additional liquidity. Subsequent to the completion of the offering, the Company
contributed $13.7 million of that offering to the Bank to enhance its capital
position. Under applicable regulatory guidelines, the Trust Preferred Securities
qualify as Tier I capital up to a maximum of 25% of Tier I capital. Any
additional portion will qualify as Tier 2 capital. As shareholders&#146; equity
increases the amount of Tier I capital that can be comprised of Trust Preferred
Securities will increase. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (&#147;Board of Governors&#148;) has adopted
regulations requiring insured institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio
of Tier 1 capital (the sum of common stockholders' equity, noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries,
minus intangible assets, identified losses and investments in certain
subsidiaries, plus unrealized losses or minus unrealized gains on available for
sale securities) to total assets. Institutions which have received the highest
composite regulatory rating and which are not experiencing or anticipating
significant growth are required to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of
3% Tier 1 capital to total assets. All other institutions are required to
maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points
above the 3% minimum requirement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Board of Governors has
also adopted a statement of policy, supplementing its leverage capital ratio
requirements, which provides definitions of qualifying total capital (consisting
of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 supplementary capital, including the allowance for
loan losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets) and sets forth
minimum risk-based capital ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. Insured
institutions are required to maintain a ratio of qualifying total capital to
risk weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half (4%) of which must be in the form
of Tier 1 capital. </FONT></P>

<b><i>Dividends</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Dividends paid to
shareholders by the Company are subject to restrictions set forth in the
California General Corporation Law. The California General Corporation Law
provides that a corporation may make a distribution to its shareholders if
retained earnings immediately prior to the dividend payout are at least equal
the amount of the proposed distribution. The primary source of funds with which
dividends will be paid to shareholders is from cash dividends received by the
Company from the Bank. During the first three months of 2003, the Company has
received $1.3 million in cash dividends from the Bank, from which the Company
declared or paid $1.5 million in dividends to shareholders. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Bank as a
state-chartered bank is subject to dividend restrictions set forth in California
state banking law, and administered by the California Commissioner of Financial
Institutions (&#147;Commissioner&#148;). Under such restrictions, the Bank may
not pay cash dividends in an amount which exceeds the lesser of the retained
earnings of the Bank or the Bank&#146;s net income for the last three fiscal
years (less the amount of distributions to shareholders during that period of
time). If the above test is not met, cash dividends may only be paid with the
prior approval of the Commissioner, in an amount not exceeding the Bank&#146;s
net income for its last fiscal year or the amount of its net income for the
current fiscal year. This is not the case with the Bank. Year-to-date dividends
of $1.3 million paid to the Company through March 31, 2003 were well within the
maximum allowed under those regulatory guidelines, without approval of the
Commissioner. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>
<b><i>Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk</i></b></FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>An interest rate-sensitive
asset or liability is one that, within a defined time period, either matures or
is subject to interest rate adjustments as market rates of interest change.
Interest rate sensitivity is the measure of the volatility of earnings from
movements in market rates of interest, which is generally reflected in interest
rate spread. As interest rates change in the market place, yields earned on
assets do not necessarily move in tandem with interest rates paid on
liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity is related to liquidity in that each is
affected by maturing assets and sources of funds. Interest rate sensitivity is
also affected by assets and liabilities with interest rates that are subject to
change prior to maturity. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The object of interest rate
sensitivity management is to minimize the impact on earnings from interest rate
changes in the marketplace. In recent years, deregulation, causing liabilities
to become more interest rate sensitive, combined with interest rate volatility
in the capital markets, has placed additional emphasis on this principal. When
management decides to maintain repricing imbalances, it usually does so on the
basis of a well- conceived strategy designed to ensure that the risk is not
excessive and that liquidity is properly maintained. The Company's interest rate
risk management is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management
Committee (ALCO) which reports to the Board of Directors on a periodic basis,
pursuant to established operating policies and procedures. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company's
asset/liability profile is not complex. The Company does not currently engage in
trading activities or use derivatives to control interest rate risk, although it
has the ability to do so if deemed necessary by ALCO and approved by the Board
of Directors. From the &#147;Gap&#148; report below, the Company is apparently
subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its liabilities have the
potential to reprice more quickly than its assets within the next year. At March
31, 2003, the Company had a cumulative 12 month Gap of $11.0 million or 2.4% of
total earning assets. Management believes the Gap analysis shown below is not
entirely indicative of the Company&#146;s actual interest rate sensitivity,
because certain interest-sensitive liabilities would not reprice to the same
degree as interest-sensitive assets. For example, if the prime rate were to
change by 50 basis points, the floating rate loans included in the $217.3
million immediately adjustable category would change by the full 50 basis
points. Interest bearing checking and savings accounts which are also included
in the immediately adjustable column probably would move only a portion of the
50 basis point rate change and, in fact, might not even move at all. In
addition, many of the floating rate time deposits are at their floors, or have
repricing rates below their current floors, which means that they might act as
fixed-rate instruments in either a rising or a declining rate environment (see
below for a discussion of the Bank&#146;s floating rate time deposits). The
effects of market value risk have been mitigated to some degree by the makeup of
the Bank's balance sheet. Loans are generally short-term or are floating-rate
instruments. At March 31, 2003, $283.8 million or 84.3% of the loan portfolio
matures or reprices within one year, and only 1.3% of the portfolio matures or
reprices in more than 5 years. Total investment securities including call
options and prepayment assumptions, have a combined duration of approximately
2.9 years. Nearly $349.8 million or 93.0% of interest-bearing deposit
liabilities mature or can be repriced within the next 12 months, even though the
rate elasticity of deposits with no defined maturities may not necessarily be
the same as interest-earning assets. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Since May of 1994, the Bank
has offered a two-year floating rate certificate of deposit product to its
customers which adjusts with changes in the Prime Rate, but which has an
interest rate floor below which the rate paid cannot drop. The current rates
below which the rates on this product cannot drop range from 1.00% to 4.75%,
with approximately $2.2 million or 42.5% of those at, or above, a 3.50% floor.
With the significant decrease in market rates of interest during the last
several years, all $5.2 million of the floating-rate CD&#146;s are at their
floors making them fixed-rate instruments in a declining rate environment. In
addition, $4.3 million of the CD&#146;s have repricing rates below their current
floors, and would behave as fixed rate instruments even in a rising rate
environment. In fact, $3.0 million or 43.8% of them would remain fixed rate
instruments even if the prime rate were to increase 200 BP or less, and $1.2
million or 23.3% would remain fixed rate instruments even if the prime rate were
to increase 300 BP or less. This $1.2 million in two-year floating rate
certificates of deposit has been treated as fixed-rate instruments for the
purpose of the following Gap report. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>Interest rate risk can be
measured through various methods including Gap, duration and market value
analysis as well as income simulation models. The Company employs each of these
methods and refines these processes to make the most accurate measurements
possible. The information provided by these calculations is the basis for
management decisions in managing interest rate risk. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company utilizes a
vendor-purchased simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to
movements in interest rates. The simulation model projects net interest income
based on both a 100 and 200 basis point rise and a 100 and 200 basis point fall
in interest rates ramped over a twelve month period, with net interest impacts
projected out as far as twenty four months. The model is based on the actual
maturity and repricing characteristics of the Company's interest-sensitive
assets and liabilities. The model incorporates assumptions regarding the impact
of changing interest rates on the prepayment of certain assets and liabilities.
Projected net interest income is calculated assuming customers will reinvest
maturing deposit accounts and the Company will originate a certain amount of new
loans. The balance sheet growth assumptions utilized correspond closely to the
Company's strategic growth plans and annual budget. Excess cash is invested in
overnight funds or other short-term investments such as U.S. Treasuries. Cash
shortfalls are covered through additional borrowing of overnight or short-term
funds. The Board of Directors has adopted an interest rate risk policy which
establishes maximum decreases in net interest income of 12% and 15% in the event
of a 100 BP and 200 BP increase or decrease in market interest rates over a
twelve month period. Based on the information and assumptions utilized in the
simulation model at March 31, 2003, the resultant projected impact on net
interest income falls within policy limits set by the Board of Directors for all
rate scenarios run. </FONT></P>

<HR  SIZE="3" COLOR="#CCEEFF" WIDTH="100%" ALIGN="CENTER">

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3>The Company also utilizes
the same vendor-purchased simulation model to project the impact of changes in
interest rates on the underlying market value of all the Company's assets,
liabilities, and off-balance sheet accounts under alternative interest rate
scenarios. The resultant net value, as impacted under each projected interest
rate scenario, is referred to as the market value of equity (&quot;MV of
Equity&quot;). This technique captures the interest rate risk of the Company's
business mix across all maturities. The market analysis is performed using an
immediate rate shock of 200 basis points up and down calculating the present
value of expected cash flows under each rate environment at applicable discount
rates. The market value of loans is calculated by discounting the expected
future cash flows over either the term to maturity for fixed rate loans or
scheduled repricing for floating rate loans using the current rate at which
similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The market
value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices obtained from
reliable independent brokers. The market value of time deposits is calculated by
discounting the expected cash flows using current rates for similar instruments
of comparable maturities. The market value of deposits with no defined
maturites, including interest-bearing checking, money market and savings
accounts is calculated by discounting the expected cash flows at a rate equal to
the difference between the cost of these deposits and the alternate use of the
funds, federal funds in this case. Assumed maturities for these deposits are
estimated using decay analysis and are generally assumed to have implied
maturities of less than five years. For noninterest sensitive assets and
liabilities, the market value is equal to their carrying value amounts at the
reporting date. The Company's interest rate risk policy establishes maximum
decreases in the Company's market value of equity of 12% and 15% in the event of
an immediate and sustained 100 BP and 200 BP increase or decrease in market
interest rates. As shown in the table below, the percentage changes in the net
market value of the Company's equity are within policy limits for both rising
and falling rate scenarios. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=3><i>The following sets forth
the analysis of the Company's market value risk inherent in its

estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant
judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with absolute precision.
